GTMedia GTCombo 4:2:2 receiver

I played a bit with the KA band again, this time at 7° east.
Because , it is currently no LOF for KA Band , the found frequencies are wrong.
In BS he can only find one transponder, the 21633 H 1100
21638 and 21640 both with SR 1100 are not found (same SR too close)
But with manual input it works without any problems.

The purpose of my original suggestion was to compare playback of recorded material on an SD card in the Combo v playback of the same material on the SD card on a PC. Following that I suggested trying the same experiment using a USB stick this time and possibly as a third experiment using a USB hard disk. The purpose of this was to demonstrate the read/write access times of each media and how any lag in the read/write operation COULD cause syncing issues between video and audio output. That’s why I posted the link to the discussion on this subject.

Regarding the installation of the GTShare app I purely suggested this to demonstrate how this app is optimised for GTMEDIA products and is a third option along with the two integrated media players on the Combo to view 4.2.2 feeds either in real time or recorded. It takes two minutes to install and if you don’t like it you can uninstall it even quicker. Again it’s entirely up to you what you do.

Attached is a cap from the real time output of the GTShare app of a 4.2.2 broadcast.

Of course I also suggested that if your issue persisted that you report it on the GTMEDIA forum who I have no doubt will resolve it quite quickly.
Just checked the playback from the USB stick and all is good, so the issue is with the combo, not the attachments.

Still awaiting an update beyond 1.14, in case this corrects the issues.

So recording and playback on the Combo using a USB stick is no problem. What SD card are you using for the same test on the Combo. What brand/class of SD card are you using. Minimum required is Class 10 and of course the marketplace is awash with counterfeits. If the price looks to good to be true it probably is How to Spot a Fake MicroSD Card and Avoid Being Scammed

Have you reported the issue on the GT media forum. They’ll look at the problem straight away if you do.

Playback of both SD and USB are OK using the laptop, not the Combo.
 
The receiver has prompted me to download the next firmware 1.15. Will do tonight and test.

Now on version 15. I have just scanned 16E Ku band for channels and the box is behaving much better when scrolling down the list of channels. Used to crash the box on v.14.

OK, early lunch so I've just downloaded it.

I'm hoping the update does fix the earlier 'playback audio' issue mentioned above on 1.14.

One thing that hasen't changed is the date and time, which continuously reverts to January 1st (Thursday), of which the last one was in 2015, next one 2026 ........

Well I hope they have sorted out it locking up the box and losing all your stored data like on previous versions? this was random too, it could go a couple of weeks before losing the bloody lot!
 
never had that....
 
They forgot to put the 4 LOFs for the KA band.
They just replied that it would be done in the next Update.

on my side too, I never had a problem with the date, it is always good
